☆ Consultants peddling job advice have created a 'workplace industrial complex' that's making them rich — and your job more miserable

It can be head-spinning to keep up with the sudden trends taking hold in the workplace: Workers are "quiet quitting."

It also means that management must take the responsibility of maintaining a healthy work-life balance away from their employees and put it on themselves.
